Noncommutative irreducible characters of the symmetric group and noncommutative Schur functions

چکیده
In the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions, Sym, the basis of Schur functions is distinguished since every Schur function is isomorphic to an irreducible character of a symmetric group under the Frobenius characteristic map. In this note we show that in the Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions, NSym, of which Sym is a quotient, the recently discovered basis of noncommutative Schur functions exhibits that every noncommutative Schur function is isomorphic to a noncommutative irreducible character of a symmetric group when working in noncommutative character theory. We simultaneously show that a second basis of NSym consisting of Young noncommutative Schur functions also satisfies that every element is isomorphic to a noncommutative irreducible character of a symmetric group.

Symmetric functions are vital to the study of combinatorics because they provide valuable information about partitions and permutations, topics which constitute the core of the subject. The significance of symmetric function theory is manifest by its connections to other branches of mathematics, including group theory, representation theory, Lie algebras, and algebraic geometry. One important b...
متن کاملA Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for noncommutative Schur functions
We prove a Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for noncommutative Schur functions introduced by Bessenrodt, Luoto and van Willigenburg. In other words, we give an explicit combinatorial formula for expanding the product of a noncommutative power sum symmetric function and a noncommutative Schur function in terms of noncommutative Schur functions. In direct analogy to the classical Murnaghan-Nakayama rule, ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Analogs of Monomial Symmetric Functions, Cauchy Identity and Hall Scalar Product
Abstract. This paper will introduce noncommutative analogs of monomial symmetric functions and fundamental noncommutative symmetric functions. The expansion of ribbon Schur functions in both of these basis is nonnegative. With these functions at hand, one can derive a noncommutative Cauchy identity as well as study a noncommutative scalar product implied by Cauchy identity. This scalar product ...
متن کاملNoncommutative Symmetric Hall-Littlewood Polynomials
Noncommutative symmetric functions have many properties analogous to those of classical (commutative) symmetric functions. For instance, ribbon Schur functions (analogs of the classical Schur basis) expand positively in noncommutative monomial basis. More of the classical properties extend to noncommutative setting as I will demonstrate introducing a new family of noncommutative symmetric funct...
متن کاملNoncommutative Monomial Symmetric Functions
This presentation will introduce noncommutative analogs of monomial symmetric functions (and their dual, forgotten symmetric functions). In analogy to the classical theory, expansion of ribbon Schur functions in this basis in nonnegative. Moreover, one can define fundamental noncommutative symmetric functions by analogy with quasi-symmetric theory. The expansion of ribbon Schur functions in thi...
